Installation Guide

1. Take one wire from each solenoid, twist together and connect to the common

(usually black) wire of your multi-core irrigation cable.

2. Connect each of the other individual solenoid wires to a different wire in the multi-

core cable and seal. Record zones against wire colour for later reference.

3. Connect the common wire from the multi-core cable (usually black) to any of the

three terminals on the controller marked COMMON.

4. Connect each of the other solenoid wires to one of the ZONE inputs.

5. If a master valve (sometimes labelled as MV on other controllers) is installed this can

be connected to any spare zone as any of the zones can be assigned as a master

valve output. Configuration of the master valve in the Hydrawise app is required.

6. Click the blue wiring cover into place to seal the controller and protect the wiring.

Connect plug pack and turn on

7. Use the plug pack supplied and connect the wires to the red AC terminal blocks on

the unit marked as 24V. Polarity of the wiring is not important.

8. Turn the power on. The power indicator will light up (see $ on Page 2).

Connecting Sensors or Flow Meters (optional)

Hydrawise supports most open/close contact type of sensors such as standard rain

sensors and soil moisture sensors.

1. Connect one sensor wire to COMMON on the controller.

2. Connect the Normally Closed or Normally Open wire from the sensor to SENSOR1

or SENSOR2 on the controller and configure in the Hydrawise app.

For full details, refer to the instructions provided with your sensor or flow meter.

Instructions on configuring the controller for a sensor from the app are on our website.

Hydrawise recommends that all connections be soldered and sealed against

moisture for long term reliability.
